MOSCOW, 26 Jul. The newcomer of the St. Petersburg football club «Zenith» Mateo Cassierra told the newspaper «Sport-Express» about the hard life in Colombia. Last season, the South American played in «Sochi» and became one of the brightest legionnaires of the championship. In the summer, the striker joined the roster of Russian champions.
"I saw shootings. People were dying before my eyes, including innocents. When there was a showdown between the gangs, ordinary people could accidentally get caught in the crossfire. Of course it's terrible. But, fortunately, all this is in the past. Now the situation in Barbacoas (the football player's home village — ed.) is a little better", the player said.
Previously, the 25-year-old played for Ajax Amsterdam, Argentine Racing, and others.
